Scale still showing a bit of a gain even though eating and calories have been on point. I'm not going to sweat it and will just trust the process. Not feeling as strong of an effect of the injection this week so maybe I will go up to the 5 mg on Sunday after all.

Boring day today. DH is working. Weather is nice so perhaps I'll take a walk after lunch. Pork lettuce wraps for dinner. I cook up ground pork loin with onions, peppers and shredded carrots, add Bachan's Japanese BBQ sauce and serve in lettuce wraps. They are really tasty. I just love the sauce (I get the big bottle at Costco!)

You are such a good cook - I'm just too lazy.

Lazy? Are you the person who's getting their house on the market weeks earlier than planned? If you don't enjoy cooking, then you've earned the right not to cook.

I love cooking!

I got back from Long Beach on Sunday night. I spent yesterday being a slug. I really didn't do much at all, except visit my dad. I did welcome a new puppy for a week or 10 days. A friend is getting Bug's sister. Her house is being painted this week and the breeders are going on a trip to the giant sequoias. Silly me offered to take the pup for a week to 10 days. I regretted my commitment as soon as it was bed time. The new puppy barked, yowled and complained on and off ALL NIGHT LONG. I was cranky this morning.

Upping the dose to 10 mg of Tirzepatide on Thursday went well. No negative side effects. However, I did notice yesterday that my want to eat really took a nose dive. I had to keep on top of my nutrition yesterday, and actually didn't do a very good job at it. I realized at 8 pm I had not really eaten a proper lunch and still had not had dinner. Not good. I quickly downed a Quest Bar and got on getting some dinner. Having been a slug all day, I had not thawed meat, or gone shopping for salad makings. I jumped in the car and grabbed two grilled chicken tacos at the local taqueria. I finished only one. The other will be lunch today.

I'm down to 238. 2 more pounds until I hit -40 since Tirzepatide. But 43 down from December all time high. ACK! NSV - getting rid of all my show dog pants. They are just too big. I ordered new trousers. They are 4 inches smaller. I am hoping I didn't over estimate my how much I've reduced. What will be trickier is dealing with the suit coats. Those are too pricy to just replace. I will see about getting some of them taken in. But I can see that losing another 40 pounds will require a newish wardrobe. I'm hoping i have enough left over to closet shop. We shall see....

I still need to catch up on the postings made since last Thursday.

Hasta la bye bye!

Needing new clothes can be a plus and a minus when you lose so much weight!

Enjoy your smaller clothes! One thing I hadn't thought of until I lost a significant amount of weight, is smaller clothes take up less space when traveling.

Good morning! Not too much to report here...my weight seems to have stabilized for the time being, so that's good. DH's younger brother and wife are in the Bay Area visiting from LA, so we're taking the ferry into the city this afternoon to go to a Giants baseball game. Should be a nice evening for it, though I always bring a light down jacket because it can get COLD! The ferry leaves from the next town, about 15 minutes away from our house and goes to the SF Ferry building, which is a really fun foodie place, so we will poke around there for a while too before walking to the park. Coming home, the ferry leaves directly from the ball park, which is SO NICE! Looking forward to it!

I concur with Mark Twain when he said the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco. We visited in August, and I thought I was prepared having spent a good part of my youth in Duluth, "the air conditioned city". Brrr. I was so cold at night, despite my many layers. I hope you have exceptionally nice weather this evening.

Oh I am so enjoying my slow day at home. You know those little random thoughts that float through your mind: we need a new soap dispenser, I should get the roomba back on!ine, I need to sort my books into read, keep and donate etc. I've ordered, sorted and puttered and its lovely.

This morning I sauteed onions, green and red peppers and olives. I put it in the fridge after taking a couple tablespoons to make a Greek omelet, along with some feta. Tomorrow, the rest of the sauteed vegetables are waiting, so more eggs in my future. I did better on protein yesterday, I had a shrimp appetizer for dinner, and I managed to drink at least one protein shake. It's a tiny bit of a chore to get out the blender, but I do enjoy the shake much more whirled with half a banana and ice.

I had a good workout yesterday, so I think I'm okay with staying home today. Hopefully taking care of things in and outside the house is at least activity.
